Or, why don’t you find another savior?

"What a surprise! It's only been a day. Could it be that Assassin has already been defeated?"

Pushing open the door of the church, Xier stood at the altar and looked at Shiomi and Morgan in surprise.

"That's impossible, isn't it? Doesn't the church have a spirit disk that can control the descent of the servants?"

Shiomi shook her head and denied Xiel's statement.

"The spirit disk held by the church can only confirm whether the servants' seats are filled, but cannot confirm their withdrawal." Xier said, looking at the person Morgan was holding, "So, the two of you are..."

"Lancer has retreated." Shiomi said, "She is Lancer's master, a participant sent by the Magic Association, Bazette Fraga Macremitz."

Xier showed a slightly surprised expression, and then gradually sorted out the situation.

"It seems that it wasn't you two who defeated Lancer," she said.

"Bazett-kun has lost her ability to fight and is seriously injured. As a colleague in the Clock Tower, I would like to ask the church if she can be treated." Shiomi said.

"Of course." Xiel agreed naturally, "After all, one of the duties of the church is to provide shelter to combatants who have lost their Master qualifications. However, I didn't expect Mr. Shiomi to let his opponent go."

After all, according to the general idea, after defeating the Servant, although you lose the qualification of being a Master, as long as you stay in Fuyuki, it does not mean that you are completely out.

Once other Servants lose their Masters, the Masters who lost their Servant will have the opportunity to make contracts with the masterless Servant again and continue the Holy Grail War.

"That's not necessary. I'm not here to fight for the Holy Grail." Shiomi said calmly, "Besides, her injuries are very serious. Even with the protection of the magic seal, she won't be able to recover in a short time."

"It was just a joke." Xier walked up and took Bazette from Morgan. "Well... she is indeed seriously injured. I will take her to the back for treatment. If you two have nothing else to do, please do as you please."

After watching Hiel and Bazette disappear behind the altar of the chapel, Shiomi found a nearby chair and sat down, with only the aisle between him and Morgan.

There's no one here now, and you can hear it without having to speak loudly.

"You've been tricked. It seems that the Caster camp anticipated your attempt to win over other camps, and took the initiative to attack Lancer." Morgan said.

"Not necessarily. Bazette is the designated executor of the seal, and his combat capability as a Master is not low. In addition, in the previous Holy Grail War, a monarch died due to lack of combat experience..."

Then it is not impossible that Marisbury wants to be more cautious.

The monarch of the celestial body department did not even show up from beginning to end, but just used magic to observe the situation on the battlefield.

It's not that Shiomi can't understand. With the Magic King as a servant, if it were him, he would also consider whether to restrain the idea of ​​going to the front line.

"Is this the result of one's own actions?" Morgan joked.

"Who knows." Shiomi was unsure, "Now that the plan has failed, we have to reconsider our next step."

Lancer's elimination means that Marisbury has to start taking action.

The Holy Grail War does not wait for anyone, and as long as it is away from the eyes and ears of ordinary people, the war can be started even in the daytime.

Thinking of this, Xijian raised his head.

"What did you think of?"

"I wonder if the next target of Caster's camp will be Einzbern." Shiomi said.

In addition, there is Assassin, whose whereabouts are still unknown, and he must still be operating in secret.

Once word of Lancer's defeat spreads, things will become even more unpredictable.

"Is there any way to find Caster's workshop?" Shiomi asked.

"If we track him right from the start, of course we can," Morgan said, "but if we want to track him without Caster noticing, I don't think anyone has that ability."

A very basic fact.

After all, ordinary magi couldn't even track Caster.

"Then..." Xi Jian was about to ask.

"I'm afraid that while my husband was rescuing the wounded, the enemy had already begun to move their position." Morgan said frankly.

The information fed back from the tracking magic she cast on Caster had already shown signs of stagnation.

The possibility of staying where he was could be ruled out first, and the only possibility left was that the other party had cut off Morgan's tracking.

"Hehe...but didn't you take the initiative to help carry Bazett-kun..." Shiomi thought she was blaming him for being indecisive and missing the opportunity to fight.

"Even if I don't take action, my husband won't refuse his senior brother's request." Morgan acted as if he knew it, but his tone was quite gentle.

She was saying that she had only done what Shiomi was going to do.

"Caster or Assassin..." Shiomi nodded, then pondered.

He was now in a slight dilemma.

According to Hiel, Assassin had previously attacked Rider's Master, so Rider should also prioritize investigating the other side.

So……

"Let's go check out Caster's workshop first." Shiomi stood up. "It won't be too long. If we rush over now, we should be able to catch them."

"I hope so. Don't forget, Caster's eyes can see everything." Morgan reminded lightly.

"The top clairvoyance..." Xi Jian raised his head and asked Morgan, "How does it compare to the fairy eye?"

Morgan frowned slightly, looking a little dissatisfied: "If my husband wants to tease me, he can just say it openly, without beating around the bush."

"No, no, no... I don't mean that." Xijian waved his hands repeatedly.

"Clairvoyance and fairy eyes are completely different things." Morgan just said, "The eyes I have can only see through all lies and reflect the truth. They cannot see the past and the future."

Xi Jian immediately gave a bitter smile: "Isn't that already impressive? You know, I don't even have a magic eye..."

"I'm glad my husband said that." Morgan lowered her eyes slightly, as if she was sighing or lamenting, "It's just..."

"only?"

"Never mind, it's nothing. It's not something that should be mentioned right now," Morgan just told him.

"Yes." As always, Xi Jian never asked any more questions. He stood up from his seat and said, "Let's get going without further delay. Otherwise, we can only passively wait for Caster and Marisbilly to take action first."

"There are no more souvenirs I can bring to Sakura, so why not just go and meet her directly?" Morgan said.

Xijian thought for a moment and said, "Yeah, let's get ready today and go see Ying tomorrow."

As they spoke, the two walked out of the church gate and drove away.

Chapter 33 'Kibsis'

"Eh? Your dad might have gone back to Fuyuki?"

It was lunch time at Hogunhara Academy. Rin and Sakura were sitting in a corner of the cafeteria eating.

After yesterday, Sakura and Rin also patrolled various places in Miyama Town, looking for the movements of other Masters and Servants, but neither Shinji nor the other Masters showed up with their Servants.

The two people who came back late got up late today and had no energy to prepare lunch boxes, so they came to the cafeteria to eat.

"Gray originally wanted to say that her father went to the tomb of Albion, but I asked a few more questions and Gray couldn't hide it anymore." Sakura smiled helplessly, "She is too honest and will never lie."

"That Gray, is she the gravekeeper girl you mentioned before?" Rin was very curious about her sister's experience in London.

According to the plan, after graduating from high school, she will go to the Clock Tower to study for one to two years. After that, Rin will travel around the world to explore her own magic path.

Of course, Rin cares now more out of concern for her sister.

"I thought my sister would be more interested in the Tomb of Albion."

"Normal magicians have no chance to enter that place, right?" Rin said, "There's also the Grand Prix Decision and so on. If Sakura hadn't left London, maybe that person would have taken her to participate, right?"

"Originally... it seemed like it was planned." Sakura smiled sheepishly, "But now I am really concerned about why Dad returned to Fuyuki."

"Could he be interested in the Holy Grail as well? After all, he was the Master who participated in the last Holy Grail War and was the first to discover the problem with the Greater Holy Grail, wasn't he?" Rin gave a very convincing answer.

Since he is a magician who knows the Holy Grail, it is inevitable that he will not give it up easily.

"Having said that..." Sakura disagreed with her sister's opinion, "If possible, I want to reunite with Dad as soon as possible. Maybe this will help with the situation later."

Lin then showed a sly smile: "What? Sakura wants to defeat the other camps first, then easily defeat me and take the Holy Grail?"

"Sister..." Sakura sighed.

She was now filled with uncertainty about the Holy Grail War, with unknown and disturbing factors appearing one after another.

There must be some reason that forced Dad to return to Fuyuki and intervene in the Holy Grail War himself.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about that." Lin stopped when she saw that things were going well. She looked at Ying's appetite and said, "I didn't expect you to have such a big appetite. You haven't gained any weight at all. Do you pay attention to exercise regularly?"

Ying puffed out her chest proudly and looked at her sister, "Of course it's because the fat has gone to where it should go."

"...Gu..." Lin made an unwilling sound of defeat.

In fact, when they were taking a bath together, Rin noticed that her sister had a better figure than her.

If I have to say, Sakura is more like Zenjo Aoi in this respect.

Rin, stimulated by Sakura's words, decisively increased the amount of lunch, without the usual precise control.

"Speaking of which, why did the Master of the Matou family choose to form an alliance with my sister?" Sakura asked, "I heard from the side yesterday that the man seemed to have some other intentions towards my sister."

"Nothing, it's just that Matou came to talk to me before, but I shook him off." Rin said unconvincingly, "Although he hasn't provoked me since then, he probably saw this Holy Grail War as a good opportunity to get closer to me."

Anyway, Rin didn't believe that Shinji would seek an alliance with her just because of his so-called background with the three great families.

"I asked around this morning and found out that Shinji Matou didn't come to school," Sakura added.

"We were chased away by your magic yesterday, so we definitely won't show up in public." Lin thought for a moment, "Even if we go back to school, we will set up some traps in the school to catch us all in one fell swoop--"

As they were walking through the corridor on one side of the school grounds, as if responding to Lin's guess, the air around them suddenly became sticky, and the hard concrete floor under their feet suddenly became soft.

But this softness only lasts for a moment.

In contrast, the school, which was still daytime just now, suddenly became overcast, and only the cold air remained the same.

The noisy sounds all around suddenly disappeared, leaving only deathly silence.

"It seems that what my sister said was right."

Sakura quickly turned around, back to back with her sister, and observed the surrounding situation.

"Archer, can you hear me? Archer?" Rin immediately called out to the Servant using telepathy.

Yet there was no movement.

"I've heard in mythology that after Perseus killed Medusa, the head was still able to petrify people." Ying mobilized her magic power and planned to enter the imaginary space to transfer with her sister, but she was completely unable to reach the imaginary side. "So Perseus followed the revelation of the three Graeae sisters and got a bag for monsters from the goddess of war Athena."

Realizing that she couldn't rely on her own magic to leave this place, Sakura began to think about her next plan and analyzed the abnormal situation that had involved her sister and herself.

Then, a triumphant applause came from the sky.

"You are quite knowledgeable. I thought you were a magician who changed career path, but you can even guess Rider's real name."

That frivolous and arrogant high-pitched voice undoubtedly came from Matou Shinji, who continued:

"In fact, Kibs can be used not only to hold monsters, but also to form a barrier like this, and then put unaware fools in it, hehehehe——"

"It's clearly the strength of a Servant, but he takes it as his own achievement." Although Rin was in danger, he did not hide his ridicule towards Shinji, "I don't think this treasure is that great, it can only lock people up."

Having said that, the surrounding campus scenery has begun to gradually become blurred.

It won't be long before the bag becomes completely dark.

In other words, at the very first moment, Rin and Sakura had already fallen into the bag and became Shinji's captives.

"You really don't understand the situation, Toosaka." Shinji said with a strange smile, "This bag can suppress magic power. Even a magician is powerless in this bag."

"What can they do if they catch us? Archer and Saber must have noticed this situation." Rin tried to threaten Shinji, "Your Servant can't handle two Servants at the same time, right?"

"That's hard to say." Shinji still smiled, "I have prepared the most suitable opponent for you, hahaha!"

He laughed out loud, as if something interesting was about to happen.

The surroundings were plunged into darkness, and even the flow of time became imperceptible.

When the light came again, what appeared before their eyes was an ancient castle built in the forest.

"Einzbern Castle..." Rin was shocked.

A roar came from the sky, and the Berserker's body cast a huge shadow on the earth.

“Command with the Command Spell, come—”

Seeing the danger before them, Rin and Sakura did not hesitate at all.

“Archer!” “Saber!”

Rebellious knights and red-clad warriors emerged from the power of the Command Seals.
